Segmental Anatomy: The Key to Mastering Acupuncture, Neural Therapy and Manual Therapy is the standard reference for segmental acupuncture. Ingrid Wancura-Kampik shows how each spinal segment connects the skin (dermatome), muscles (myotome), bones and connective tissue (sclerotome) and internal organs (viscerotome), and where the organs project onto the body surface.
From these connections in the anatomy of the nervous system, the book explains why acupuncture, neural therapy and manual therapy work, and how to choose points in the same segment as the painful structure or affected organ. It is richly illustrated in full colour.
